Abstract
Military helicopters operating in hostile zones face multiple threats. Due to limited armor protection and the difficulty of threat detection, attacks from concealed positions represent a critical risk factor. In this context, advanced lightweight multilayer composites structures can enhance airframe protection against impacts from small-caliber projectiles.
